The Steering Committee is comprised of representatives of each charter member organization, key maternal and infant health care stakeholder organizations, staff, a family representative, and chairs of our maternal and infant health subcommittees. The Steering Committee will establish operating rules for decision-making processes and strategic planning. The primary responsibility of the Steering Committee will be to identify and address statewide priority perinatal QI issues.
